As we enter a Mercury Retrograde period, it seems appropriate to dip into the past for some echoes from a bygone era.

I found these postcards in an antique store in Purcell, Oklahoma. They are postmarked, 1919, 1914 and 1920, from Kansas (Bison, Wichita and Hutchinson) and carry short personal Thanksgiving greetings addressed to surnames Bieber, Wulfmeyer and Boruff, in either Horsington Hospital, or "City". My husband enlightened me on "City". In days-gone-by the post office accepted this on any piece of mail addressed to the same city in which it was posted.
